A resgistry cleaner wont remove spyware and viruses, it will repair the registry. Though there are alot of good free programs to do all the things you asked for. To clean the registry you can download a program called CCleaner..
Download Link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Choose to download the latest version to the right.
For spyware and viruses i have a list of free and some non-free programs you can use, and are all very effective at what they do.

Being a psychiatrist there is no way I can allow my registry to get messed up by any registry cleaner or repair.
There are two free one that I trust with my life and have been using for years.
CCleaner is excellent free software that will give you free updates automatic without having to remove the older version. If you firewall blocks the new versions, there is a place when you open the software to check for new versions.
http://www.ccleaner.com
Then there is another free one that clean up your registry in a much bigger way and like the one above as a restore. (I have never need to use the restore with either one over many years of use). They don't make any mistakes with your registry
This one is from China. http://www.eusing.com Look down about five software program and you will see their free registry software for download on their webpage.

Ok firstly you need 2 or 3 different types of programs inorder to do this properly.
For the registry and unwanted programs use CC CLEANER free version.
Spyware:
Spybot Serach and destroy free
Antivirus:
AVG free
Antivir free
Firewall:
Zonealarm free
Norton internet security paid
Just choose 1 out of each section, download, update and scan as well.
Hope that helps

I consider the query will have to be 'that is the least unsafe'. As you're commonly mindful the registry is the primary element of Windows. If you corrupt it then Windows won't paintings accurately. I use CCleaner (Issues choice) since it makes a backup of the entire keys it's approximately to delete in order that they may be able to effortlessly be restored if matters pass worng.

You want to be careful with registry cleaners because they may do some things to your registry that you don't want it to do and it may cause system instability. I leave my registry alone.
